Description Chris White 2006-08-30 06:48:29 UTC
Version:           1.0rc1 #3147 (using KDE 3.5.4, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16-gentoo-r1

Test case:

1) F5 to bring up channel list
2) Confirm you want to be flooded with a huge list of channels
3) The channel list comes up blank, and does not populate unless Refresh List is pressed

Expected result:

The channel list comes up and populates right away

Note that this was done on a server with only 3 active channels (if that matters at all).

It doesn't flood you because you might want to enter some keywords to seach for first, if it starts flooding you right away, you'll have to wait for it to finish loading every channel, which can take quite a lot of time (and konversation will be almost completely unresponsive in the meantime). Then when it has loaded the full list, you'll have to type some keywords and search again.

So it's faster to wait for the user to enter some keywords and then search instead of searching, then waiting for keywords and then search again.

We might want to move the warning from tab moving to actually clicking "Refresh List", otherwise it's intended behavior I guess.
